Gutierrez: Life is so simple and straightforward it's complicated

Esteban Gutierrez has hardly set the world alight in his first season with with the all new Haas F1 team, and seems slightly confused (or maybe not) about his plans for 2017.

Haas have not indicated what their driver plans are for next season, although the smart money is on Romain Grosjean remaining with the team, but Gutierrez is not a certainty. The Frenchman has scored all of the team's 28 points while the Mexican's name on the table has a zero beside it.

As for his plans beyond 2016, Gutierrez tried to explain to F1i, “How can I put it in just a few words? It's a matter of coordination basically."

“It's very simple, very straightforward, but something very simple is made very complicated so it takes time. Very often as humans we are that way, when life is so simple and straightforward it's complicated.

“We complicate ourselves but now we are focusing on simplifying it and that's what takes a bit of time. There are so many parties involved that need to be on the same line, it takes a bit of time,” added Gutierrez in a gallant effort to clarify his situation without really knowing.
